Marked on Ordnance Survey Map as Abbey Farm. Corn watermill and mill-house, now house. Late C18 - early C19, on much older foundations. Coursed rubble, stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 6 bays. Quoins. In fourth bay, part- glazed C20 6-panel door below plain fanlight in ashlar surround on plinths, with imposts, voussoirs to semicircular arch and tripartite keystone. Ground-floor windows: sashes with glazing bars in ashlar surrounds, those of first to third bays C20 copies. First floor: windows with flat arches, those in first and second bays 9-pane unequally-hung sashes, the rest sashes with glazing bars. Shaped kneelers, ashlar copings. Brick stacks at ends and between second and third bays. The corn watermill formerly occupied the first 3 bays, and had a matching doorway in the third bay. Below the second ground-floor window is a blocked small square surround to a window which lighted the gearing. The mill originally served the Abbey (qv) and was connected with the river Swale by the head race and tail race; the ashlar- lined wheelchamber being below the first bay. The watermill operated into the 1950s, latterly generating electricity for the hamlet of Easby with a turbine which is still in position in the wheelchamber, until it was replaced by the National Grid.
